I always thought it was stupid that I had to sideload all my files onto a tablet that has 3g/wifi. Especially since lots of reviewers, etc. are always criticizing Sony for not having wifi. Or am I wrong and there's a way to download my files from my computer to an iPad without having to connect via USB? And if you can, did that method exist in May 2010?

Do other tablets require sideloading of personal files or prevent you from dowloading off of the internet?
You can download files via the iPad's web browser. When you select the file it'll ask you which application you want to open it in.

Some things work a little differently. Eg, as you know, when you buy a book from the Kindle store, it simply appears in the "Archive" list in the Kindle app, and you download it from there.
